Gloves are for faggots. Just go to chalk mate.

LOL...

For deads, I tried a different grip, one hand over and the other under, works perfectly and I did a wicked back session the other day.. Wont need the chalk or anything for a while and felt as if I could of gone heavier...

Gonna give the smith machine a go on chest now, see how I go, hopefully set a new pb....

Sorry I just assumed you knew about switch grip for your deads. The order is

Double overhand

Chalked double overhand

Switch grip

Chalked switch grip

Try and maintain double overhand as long as possible as that will increase your grip quicker. I can only deadlift 130 double over hand, then up to 160 chalked double overhand, switch grip and chalked switch grip the rest of the way.

Don't bench on the smith machine mate, it will completely ruin your form. The bar can't travel on its natural path, so you wouldn't go anywhere near a PB.

Smith machines are in the same category as gloves in my book.

Wouldn't you need more upper to fix it?

I disagree on the smith machine. A lot of modern BBs are using them these days. I tend to watch a lot of YouTube videos lol.

Granted they already have a good foundation to work with and good form but I have watched Victor Martinez do deadlifts on a smith machine... If its good enough for him?
